Been looking at lazer scout with 8 inch coil polo the use would be for woodland and trashy ground
and some foreshore hunting .
Would this be a good machine to have for these situations if I were getting 6 inch of depth with this
I would be happy .
Any thoughts from you guys as need some advice as I do have chance to buy one at moment
Advice sooner the better much appreciated .

I have a scout and hawkeye, and really love the scout. My permissions are both pasture and woodland, and always use the scout in the woods - it's so pointable and light and the iron discrim is brilliant. It may seem limited with no display and one tone, but you will soon learn the difference between the quick chirps of junk and the fuller beep of coins etc. It just loves coins, musket balls, buckles and bullets. The Thames mudlarks favour the scout too. I got mine secondhand for £120 and for that kind of money, I think it's great. Pentechnics do a boost for the scout too, which claims to give an extra couple inches depth, which I may try at the same time as getting it serviced, but in all honesty it doesn't really need it! I would recommend one to anyone! I have also used it on the beach and find it very good. May need to turn sensitivity down a little on the really wet stuff, but generally very stable. Good luck!

I've done the 'buckle boogie', the 'musket-ball mambo' and even the 'silver shuffle', but sadly still no 'gold dance'. You're really gonna know it when you see it though!
